Born & raised in Brampton.

Brampton roots

Jot Dhaliwal was born and raised in Brampton and has lived in the community throughout his life. He attended local Brampton schools and understands the city as someone who grew up here.

Education

My educational journey began at Hickory Wood Public School, continued at Roberta Bondar and Fletcher’s Creek, then Mississauga Secondary School. I studied Justice Studies at the University of Guelph-Humber before completing the JD Pathway LLB at the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom. I later earned my LLM at the University of Toronto.

My education has taken me from Brampton classrooms to universities in Canada and the United Kingdom. Brampton has remained home.

Community

Throughout this campaign, Jot has been meeting residents, families, volunteers, community organizations, cultural organizations and local leaders across Brampton. These conversations help him hear the concerns people want brought forward.

A life of community service

Giving back to the place I call home.

I am one of the founders of the Guru Nanak Mission of Canada, a non-profit organization focused on charitable initiatives and community service. Since 2007, I have taken part in organizing and participating in community initiatives, including monthly neighbourhood clean-up days.

These volunteer activities have kept me connected to Brampton and taught me the value of working together, taking responsibility for shared spaces and building community pride.

I want to encourage opportunities for young people to take part in community service, volunteer projects and constructive activities. I would bring that perspective to board discussions, while working within the collective role of a trustee.
